It will be for gaming obviously but I fear that it will overheat or something as I will be using it a lot. Is it fine or will it overheat and like break? Also is the motherboard good or do i get a new one?

Lol sorry for the other questions, The real question is What side should I put the fan?
People said to put it facing down but I don't understand because if it's supposed to get cool air and my PC is like sitting from that way how will it get the air especially since I will probably be sitting my computer on carpet.

As long as you have a ventilation grill on the bottom of the case the fan goes down.

Answer is simple. You place the PSU (like all consumer ones) with the fan on the bottom to get cool air from under the case - its designed like this. And never place your PC on a carpet if you want it to have a good life...
